    I will need shorter shocks for sure as the stock ones bottom out, I'm still trying to find a set.

    Jamco told me I should be ok with stock shocks. When I spoke to a different person there today he informed me that I should have used shorter ones. Unfortunately they only have shorter rears not fronts available.

    I did get a part number for stock length fronts now I just have to go to napa and have them find me a shorter alternative.

    I will be at Midnight mass for sure! My flag arrived last week. I am also setting up a display from my store, MotorCity Harley-Davidson there. Stop by and see me!

  6. Sits nice. Are they 14's on the front? Maybe just the angle of the photo.
    Thinking about buying a set of shorter shocks for my 55 century. Got under there the other day and noticed all these rubber stopper things in between the springs. Might be time to get a new set of springs?

    Those are fifteen's front and back.

    Those "rubber stopper things" are an old aftermarket fix for sagging springs. My car had about four per spring!

    I would definitely recommend the Jamco springs that I installed.

    Here's another side shot.

    So is there a more cost effective method than buying jamco and has any experienced scuffing issues
